The holidays are always a special time of year.  And the role of technology in making this season bright will just continue!

Being green is not just for hippy, college students anymore. Many companies and families are choosing to send virtual e-holiday cards. There are a number of sites that allow you to send free holiday e-cards. All you have to do is type in your email contacts and a message. Voilà!  Instant holiday cards that didn’t cost you a cent!

Even Santa uses technology to keep all the people on the naughty and nice list updated on his progress during his most busy season. Check out his blog to read up on Santa’s day-to-day activities and other important things like what kind of milk he prefers.

And for those skeptics, who think that it would be impossible to deliver toys and presents all over the world, we encourage you to check out this article in which scientists ponder the technology Santa Claus employs!

At Wired Wisconsin, we know that technology touches every aspect of our lives. We have worked really hard this year to bring greater visibility to different technology issues such as electronic waste legislation and broadband deployment (so every “kid” can read Santa’s blog!).

We wish you and yours Happy Holidays!  We look forward to the New Year where we will continue to advocate on important technology issues in Wisconsin.
